Profits from property sales are often tax as CGT. It's only a select few jurisdictions that don't tax property sales, often with both CGTs and stamp duties. The difference in how their taxed in the US is certainly not standard glo

It's a solution to the problem raised by the GP - how to fairly value IP. This whole thread is about how many countries with land taxes don't similarly tax other assets like IP. Whether you think it's fair or not is another q

There are some analogues of a land tax in the UK. Council tax for residential property, rates for businesses, and the upcoming mansion tax.

This is actually a solved problem. It is self-assessed valuation with compulsory sale at declared value, known as the Harberger Tax.

Losing your temper when a serious boundary has been crossed is natural and expected. It had a positive outcome in that it stopped your bad behaviour immediately. > He ended up grabbing me by the throat, while no-one around did a thing to

Involving yourself by commenting on very personal matters, especially in a smug or condescending manner, is almost guaranteed to end badly.

Yeah, agreed! It is selecting for a certain type. Just don't want the GP to fall into the trap that the others were clueless as they commented, because that normally indicates a blindspot on the GP's side, not the people with whom

The PDF you shared actually agrees with my point if you care you to read it. It models the cost for a specific HVDC implementation, but the HVDC line selected is more expensive when transporting just 3% of the energy of the pipeline. The sa

Capex for H2 pipelines is higher than new HVDC, and opex is 5-10x HVDC per MWh-km so you're just wrong on this. H2 makes sense for feedstocks but not energy distribution.
78.
by closewith 8mo ago
You are simply wrong on this. HVDC losses total ~5% for 1,000km, including step up and step down losses. H2 will experience 20-30% over the same distance of natural gas line including compression and friction losses. DOA.

It does, definitively.

No air compressor can compress hydrogen, nowhere near the necessary tip velocity.

All between co-located industrial generators and consumers. H2 pipelines are DOA due to the absurd compression costs.

Yeah, Li-ion batteries already have comparable life cycles to hydrogen tanks 1-2k fills/recharges, _but_ batteries are improving rapidly and tanks are already a mature technology.

Centralised billing effectively makes serious journalism impossible. Omnibus subscription services will ruthlessly cut anything that affects the bottom line, and effective journalism is necessarily unpopular.

You can mock their API all you want for development and there are many pre-built options for that, but it you want to touch their systems, they're sending a very clear signal. You must be a corporate with an RBO. Seems prudent to me.

The lesson here is to make something people want. All else is forgiven is the product is something people really want - the product market fit most of us never achieve.
